Armenian Grammar - Negation

Hi Armenian learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn about negation in Armenian grammar. We will see how to use negative words and negate verbs, nouns, and adjectives. We will also learn how to use double negation and some common expressions with negation.


Take some time to dive into these other pages after completing this lesson: The Genitive Case, Cases of Nouns, Future Tense & Word Order.

Negative Words[edit | edit source]

In Armenian, the most common negative word is "ոչ" (voch), which means "not". Other negative words are: "միայն" (miayn) - "only", "որպես" (vorpes) - "as", "ուրեմն" (uremn) - "never". For example:

Armenian Pronunciation English
ոչ voch not
միայն miayn only
որպես vorpes as
ուրեմն uremn never

We use "ոչ" (voch) to negate verbs, nouns, and adjectives. For example:

  • Verb negation:
Armenian Pronunciation English
Եմ yem I am
ոչ եմ voch yem I am not
  • Noun negation:
Armenian Pronunciation English
Արև arev sun
Ոչ արև voch arev not sun
  • Adjective negation:
Armenian Pronunciation English
Կարող karogh possible
Անհնար anhnar impossible

We can also use double negation in Armenian, which is not considered as incorrect grammar. For example:

  • Single negation:
Armenian Pronunciation English
Ես ուզում եմ yes uzum em I want
Ոչ եմ ուզում voch em uzum I don't want
  • Double negation:
Armenian Pronunciation English
Չեմ ուզում chem uzum I don't want
Ոչ չեմ ուզում voch chem uzum I don't not want (= I want)

Be careful with double negation, because it can be confusing and misleading.

Common Expressions with Negation[edit | edit source]

Here are some common expressions with negation in Armenian:

  • Չեմ գիտակցել (chem gittaktsel) - I don't understand
  • Չեմ իմանալ (chem imanal) - I don't know
  • Ոչ մի բան (voch mi ban) - Nothing
  • Ոչ ոք (voch ok) - Nobody
  • Ոչ միայն (voch miayn) - Not only

Example of a dialogue:

  • Person 1: Չեմ գիտակցել: (Chem gittaktsel) - I don't understand.
  • Person 2: Ինչպես այն աշխարհը պիտի փակվի: (Inchpes ayhn ashrkh pi ti pakestvi) - How it will be closed.

To improve your Armenian Grammar, you can also use the Polyglot Club website. Find native speakers and ask them any questions!
